Indentation tests at scales on the order of one micron have shown that measured hardness increases significantly with decreasing indent size, a trend at odds with the size-independence implied by conventional plasticity theory. In this paper, strain gradient plasticity theory is used to model materials undergoing small-scale indentations. Finite element implementation of the theory as it pertains...
